Wang Yi: The China-US Conflict Is a Battle Against Falsehood... Victory Over the US Through China-Russia Cooperation

The Multilateralism, Rules, Human Rights, and Democracy Claimed by the US Are All Lies
China and Russia Are Great Powers; Their Cooperation Will Defeat US Hegemony

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Jo Young-shin] Wang Yi, China's State Councilor and Foreign Minister in charge of diplomacy, criticized the United States, saying, "There are some forces that always think they are superior and always impose their thoughts on others." Wang especially indicated his intention to further strengthen cooperation with Russia, stating that if China and Russia cooperate, they can defeat American hegemonism.

Wang made these remarks targeting the United States in a joint interview with the state-run Xinhua News Agency and CCTV the day before.

Wang defined the China-US conflict as a confrontation between true multilateralism and false multilateralism, true rules (policies) and false rules, true human rights and false human rights, and true democracy and false democracy.

He emphasized that "certain countries shout about multilateralism but in reality are forming factions to return the world to a Cold War structure," and stressed that China practices genuine multilateralism based on the United Nations (UN). At the same time, he pointed to the United States, saying that some countries are promoting a rules-based order, which ignores international law.

Wang also expressed discomfort toward the United States and some other countries that raised the issue of human rights in Xinjiang Uyghur as a tool for interfering in other countries' internal affairs, centered around the United States.

In particular, Wang emphasized that the Democracy Summit promoted by the United States resulted in a "three no's" outcome?no consensus, no achievements, and no future?meaning that no country can be a teacher of democracy. He added that democracy, a common value of humanity, is a right for the people of the respective country to judge.

Regarding China-Russia relations, Wang said, "As long as the two great powers China and Russia strengthen cooperation, the international order will not collapse, and hegemonism cannot win." He stressed, "China and Russia are great powers with global influence, and strengthening strategic and practical cooperation between the two countries has global significance."

Wang also showed confidence about China-US relations. He said, "The United States feels its limits in countering China," and added, "The United States recognizes that no matter how much extreme pressure it applies to China, China will never back down, and it also knows it will be shooting itself in the foot." He then demanded that the United States abandon its obsession with pressuring China and treat China not as an enemy but as a partner, adding that if the ideological confrontation bitterness is resolved, two types of systems can coexist.

He also mentioned Taiwan. Wang emphasized, "There is only one China in the world, and the fact that Taiwan is part of China is an undeniable historical and legal fact." Although China and Taiwan are politically opposed due to civil war, he said that China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity have never changed, that China's reunification is an irreversible matter, and that the efforts of Taiwan separatists will end in failure.

Through this interview with state-run media, Wang emphasized that China has no intention of backing down in the confrontation with the United States, suggesting that China-US conflicts will continue next year as well.
